Nice mantel crux. Otherwise the climbing is straightforward. Well protected all the way.

Hang Dog ascent by:
Ascent Note
Took a hang at the mantel, taken slightly aback by the intensity of it. Once through that move, the purportedly "thin" face climbing seemed straightforward.
Note that Young's guide shows 5 bolts before the anchors, but in reality there are only 4. The 5th bolt preceding the anchors does not exist (but is not needed, as the final moves are very easy).

Ascent Note
Rock quality is mediocre, but the climb gets points as a nice, chill, lengthy pitch. Plenty of gear placements, but doesn't exactly swallow the gear.

Easy Warm Up
Probably only has one move worthy of 5.8 above the final bolt to top out--otherwise easy and short.

Fun crack and mini-roof
Fun, easy trad lead. While intimidating, the roof turns out to be easily surmounted.

Ascent Note
Very nice climb. Some might argue runout between the second and third bolts after the ledge, but the climbing between them is really easy (5.5/5.6 tops). Surmounting the bulge seemed more interesting then sidestepping to the right--lots of possibilities for protection.

Ascent
Granted, I'm new to trad, and roofs give me the shakes, but the crux seemed pretty strenuous for 5.6. Great hands and marginal feet in the true Ontario style.

Red Point ascent by:
Fun Lead
Intense--High quality rock. Would be a top rating from me, if not for the fact that it is extremely slick and polished, especially towards the bottom of the climb.
